^ ^ Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~ Woohooo New York, here We come-Time for Macca & Ringo!!
it's 10:30 pm, and has it been a busy week. I am, one of those who pack at the last min. do you? I suppose, I like the excitement of it all-stressin out, wondering exactly what I'm gonna bring? changing my mind always, at the last minute. feeling the excitement, getting to the airport on time. Last night I couldn't sleep a wink. I was getting too excited. Wondering who will show? What the set list will be? Will Paul & Ringo surprise us fans and gig together?
I've never been to New York, only in passing, JFK, on my way to Europe. I love to travel! Not soo hot on flying the initial leg. My heart pounds and I pray everyone, on board has a safe and comfortable flight. Where is everyone going? Surely, not as an exciting destination as traveling to see Macca live :):) There are so many fans who travel to see Paul McCartney from all over the world .It is amazing. I do not know of- any other artist who is followed so much as Paul McCartney? My only guess would be, Stones fans. They are pretty loyal as Beatles fans our.
Saturday, I will meet with Luuk, from Holland, The Netherlands, His first time to see Paul McCartney & Ringo-ever! How freakin exciting!! also meeting Mark from Jersey & Dear Boy from ?? ha!
more in the am. I'm dog tired~
Morning people!!!! 7:45am woohooo have I said I am freakin Excited this morning? I am!!~ heheh
an hour and a half until I jet-to the airport. wheew, I managed to get 6 hours of sleep. All packed and ready to go! hopefully I can post from my Blackberry So, if postings appear to be disjointed, I will have to fix em,when I get back. Hopefully, some of you will be in New York, to wittness this historical gig. Change Begins Within.

One time, I donot not need meditation... Where am I? who am I? Oh, I'm in mid town Manhattan. Just ate at a cool place called Astro's however donot have the buckwheat pancakes, they are dry as hell. Now for some sleep-taillights... heheheheheh ,,
Check this lil posty out~ Lovin it!
NOW
Now then, now then, now then, settle down and strap in because it’s going to get rocky – the Mac is back with the band in town and they’re belting it out better than ever.
You’d have said so too if you’d been downtown in New York City today when the art gallery district got a seismic shake as Paul and the band met up to play for the first time together in more than six months to rehearse for the meditation for schools benefit show here on Saturday night. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and, clearly, makes the voice grow louder. So loud that out in the street beside the aptly-named SIR studios one excited young passer-by stopped passing anywhere to enquire “Is that who it sounds like in there? Is he rehearsing right now? Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!”
The gang of five are off the leash and rocking through a set that will spill thrills without frills when they take the lid off Saturday’s Change Begins Within gig.
And it wasn’t just everyone who was grinning confidence at the sound that loosened the rivets at SIR. Paul himself is clearly chuffed to be back. “I’ve missed you guys”, he said as he strapped on the Les Paul for an especially-raucous take of Matchbox, “But now it feels like a band again”.
AND THEN
After five hours of thwacking through faves and some singalong surprises, Paul then took time out to chat on camera with David Lynch, the esteemed Hollywood director whose Foundation presents the Radio City gig that will raise funds to get transcendental meditation classes going for one million kids in schools across the States.
“To me it’s like a seed, like an acorn”, said Paul, who learnt his meditation skills straight from the Mararishi, “if you don’t put it in the ground there’s a pretty good chance that you won’t get an oak tree.
“And now the time is right to seed these kind of ideas that were talked about in the Sixties. It’s all very well to talk about it but people don’t need talk, they need results.
“Now the results are there, kids are benefiting, and it is fabulous to now put meditation in the mainstream like this; the fact that you can show that it works, that school kids get good results from learning meditation, that’s the foot in the door”.
Rock and roll on Saturday night when the seeding starts of the changes….
BUT before that – you won’t want to miss the press conference from Radio City tomorrow, which you can watch live online as Paul and Ringo and David Lynch’s other luminary supporters join the Twin Peaks director to reveal more about this pioneering initiative to put meditation in the classroom. To register to watch, go to http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/ We’ll be back…….. nice posty-Geoff was that you?
The Baggers are Pippin? What in the world? I hear Bagpipes downstairs-there is a huge parade going on right this moment. This is brilliant!!! lol
5:47pm On my way to the gig!!! me & Mark in Jersey!!!~ woohoooo!!
^ ^ Please vote for this blog! Stumble or Digg it! TY~ Charity gig Pre-sale headlining Macca was a Shame.. note: semi long post including 3 vids-see below..
Morning people, were you able to get tickets to this HOT Charity gig in April, from: The David Lynch Foundation, this morning? many people didn't. Where were all the tickets?
apparently the East Coast got their emails ahead of time-than-the West Coast. All High Level tickets were gone when I phoned in at 8:15 am before, I even got my code. Tickets went on sale at 9am on the east coast. While a few McCartney/Beatle fans were able to secure at least A ticket at the lower end some fans in Europe, got zilch. All tickets are Sold out!
Isn't their a better way for a pre-sale? Tix, are now being offered on Ebay for a mint, Bullchips! TM, claimed tickets were sold...weeks ago? I don't get that one.. at all..
Some fans, didn't receive their pre-sale pre-codes until after the all tickets had been sold. I know this is a charity benefit, but c'mon. This is suppose to be a pre-sale..oh my. There seemed to be alot of confusion purchasing tickets & presale codes today.
What is Howard Sterns number lemme call him..lmao like he would take my call... Wonder if Donald Trump will be in attendance? Like the old saying" It's not what you know its who you know" count on that!
more later, I need coffee....
Called Ticketmaster at least I got some friendly folks.. Sun March 7th 1:30pm
Hey people, I have just called TM for the 4th & 5th time today..I received more info regarding tickets. Tomorrow there WILL be a sale of remaining tickets via TM. There is hope t0 attend this gig, don't give up! Geez, I hope FANS get tickets and not those freakin scalpers trying to make a profit! "Instant Karma is gonna get you!"
International fans can also access the Ticketmaster site or by phone at 11am est. time.. I just like to give a shout out to Nelda & Rueben at Ticketmaster who were, very friendly & helpful on my recent calls.. Thanx guys! I have spent hours on the phone, since 8:15am trying to get a ticket-lol
This pre-sale did not offer great seats for fans calling in today- hopefully there will be a better chance tomorrow for people really wanting to attend this historical charity benefitt.
Can you believe it, Paul & Ringo at the same gig? I wonder if they WILL perform together?
How bout some Donavan?.. This is one of my favorites -something different today..
Donavan-Hurdy Gurdy enjoy the vid-
Now some Instant Karma-John Lennon... seeing John & Yoko lived in New York.. and this is a New York, Charity Gig.. raising money for kids I thought I'd post me some John Lennon. When I think of New York- I think of John & Yoko.:)
You go John!! We all shine on....!!!! hb~
David Lynch Foundation had the best of Intentions Sun March 7th 4pm
you know, as I was about to post this all my windows closed. Geez.. We have to believe the David Lynch Foundation, in good faith, had the best of intentions on the Pre-sale passcode deal. Most likely they had no way of knowing all the tickets would sell out or that people had not received their pre-sale passwords until, it was to late, for some of us. I say let's blame the net! Yeah! who knows what happened? how many emails were sent out, or how many servers went down or jammed? Too Many-people calling in.
Let's just blame it all on Ticketmaster! :) kidding-:)
Debbie, one of the event coordinators for the David Lynch Foundation has been very cool, friendly & lovely- answering questions, answering emails. Most likely, they have been hit by 100's if not 1000's of emails asking about this gig?. shouldn't we give them a break & not blame them? '-it's the Internet people, take a deep breathe and try again tomorrow. I know, I too, was a bit frantic this morning attempting to call in with no code, with some disappointment-however, tomorrow is another day, this is all going for a great cause~
Still, I'd like to be the person(s) buying that $100,000 package! woohooo!!!:):)
I'm out I've been on this all day- calling New York-emails, postings, pms-the struggles of being a Beatles/McCartney/Lennon/Harrison/Starr * FAN! lmao!
OK, one more video I couldn't resist! Too many People, wanting Charity gig tix, Too many People, calling in jammed in phones lines, Too may people disappointed, Too Many people, pissed..lol Too Many People wanting pre-sale codes!~Too May People, confused :)
Paul McCartney & "My Band" Too May People- Came in thru the Bathrorom Window..

This Tour On man! this tour brings so many memories. I was able to see 8 amazing gigs. I attended both San Jose shows in the 5th row both nights..The 2nd night I was a mess during "The Long & Winding Road Nellie & Swaying Daisy squeezed my hand, said Paul was looking at me ..Brian singled at the end, they would be back for an encore, during the end..I nodded. During Sgt, Pepper reprieve, * Macca signaled to me with a flip of his wrist, to send up my sign !!! when the sign reached Paul he flipped it over-real cool like-than signed the front it's (on the side there on my sidebar!) He Signed PAUL~ across The side! also Swaying Daisy's album, that I had placed up top! I got that sign back and was in shock! Paul McCartney had just signed my sign!! than a few days later, Swaying Daisy and I were off to Vegas ( I have a piccie of me sitting in front in San Jose, but hey I'm not foto-genic)
Vegas was kinda a bad scene. The First night I was on the floor all the way to the back. The second night off the floor too the right, where I had an extra ticket-and no one to buy it or offer it too. Still, glad that I got to see Paul & The band. I lost $500 bucks gambling and Daisy and I couldn't find a decent place to eat on Thanksgiving...Daisy flew home a day later than I was off to LA to The Standard-near The Staples center..
We arrived in a limo where security at Staples harassed me for my sign~and took it until the gig was over.... FIGURES~Two concerts in LA Staples Center 1st night in the 2nd row in front of Paul and the 2nd night Nelley R. and I didn't have the best seats in the house. ha! We were in the far right row on the floor near Jack Nicholson. .. We couldn't see the concert well, why? Cuz this girl was holding up a huge "it's my birthday" sign Nelley R. and I were bummed! Shortly after Heather Mills, noticed us, came up to us and said:
"Here, this is from Paul he wanted you to have these!" Heather gave us each one of Paul's guitar picks~
Nelly kept diggin in her purse, she asked heather to sign her purse ha! but Heather turned her down. We thanked Heather & shook her hand!~ It was cool to see Gene Simmons in the 5th row, there at Staples.
Next it was off to Sacramento Arco Arena- we waited for Paul in back for hours but had fun! When Paul finally arrived it was, past dusk= he was running late. I said "where are you Paul?" said Paul "Im here I'm right here" as he drove slowly past us...
I was in the aisle, in the 10th row with my"she's not the brightest of buttons" poster, which Paul said to me-"and I'm reading yours now" during the gig, (those of us that bug, Paul, with our signs that we carry to the gigs)....All in All the tour was magnificent! Brilliant beyond words..( I do have a piccie of us waiting for Paul in back but promised not to post it~)
Some of the Highlights-Too Many People/Polythene Pam. I've got a Feeling. Helter Skelter. English Tea..Get Back. Fixing a Hole. Long & winding Road. Eleanor Rigby. Please Please me! So C'mon people I'm waiting for your concert re-views ~
Note: post subject to updates It's almost New Years here in California much Peace & Prosperity to you in the in coming New Year!
